"Xiao Ping, do you know which of those wine houses around us is the best?" Teng Qing Shan looked at the several wine houses on the street, and for a moment didn't know which one to choose.

  Xiao Ping smiled and said, "Uncle, although I've never been to Dan Yang City, but... Xue Yue Wine House is all over the 36 main cities. It's the best wine house! Of course, the dishes are very expensive." Xiao Ping said so, but she was very clear about how much money Teng Qing Shan had.

  "Xu said Jiulou." Teng Qing Shan smiled and nodded, "Spread across the thirty-six main cities? Looks like you have a pretty impressive background."

  "Heng big brother, let's go there." Li Kun also smiled and said.

  Asked a passerby and knew the location. With a playful attitude, I walked towards the Xuriang Wine House.

  "Hmm?" Teng Qing Shan gazed forward, where a luxurious mansion sprawled across the land. The main gate was over 10 zhang wide, with two massive red copper unicorns placed on either side. Above the main gate hung a signboard, inscribed with two large characters - Fang Fu!

  The main gate is closed at this moment, but the small doors on both sides are open.

  At the right gate entrance, a short and dark man with a small beard was talking to the Fang Mansion guards.

  "Fang's family?" Teng Qing Shan raised an eyebrow.

  Li Kun also exclaimed: "Teng big brother, is this the Fang family that controls Dan Yang City?" Teng Qing Shan nodded and smiled: "Apart from the Fang family you mentioned, which other Fang family would dare to occupy such a large area in the central area of Dan Yang City and build such a luxurious mansion."

  Teng Qing Shan's ears were listening to the conversation between the dark-skinned man and the guard.

  "Please make an exception." The little whisker handed over a small piece of silver.

  After taking it, he weighed it and smiled slightly: "Okay, you're called 'Chang', right? I'll go inform him. If you really have skills, the old steward will definitely take you in. Our Fang Manor has 800 guests, anyone with talent, our Fang Manor will definitely accept. Hmm, wait here for a while."

  He guarded a single word "our Fang manor", as if he were some big shot of the Fang manor.

  He had just turned around and was about to go in when he suddenly bowed: "Ah, young master!"

  From the side door, a line of three people walked out. The first person wore a white luxurious fur coat made from some precious fur, and on his head was a golden leather hat. At his waist hung a long, slender sword. He brought two subordinates with him as he walked out. He glanced at Little Hu Zi standing by the door.

  "Your Highness." The other guards also bowed.

  "Chang, I've seen the young master." Little Hu also bowed slightly.

  This young master of Fang Manor carefully sized up the little mustache, a smile floating on his face: "Chang? You're the one who recommended yourself as a guest at our Fang Manor's gate."

  "Yes." Little Beard nodded again.

  "Tell the steward, this one named Chang, I've taken him in." The young master of Fang Manor ordered directly.

  The guards around were all somewhat astonished, the young master didn't even look at this little bearded man's abilities, yet directly took him in as a guest. It was too rash. However...the young master held an extremely high position within the Fang Manor. They didn't dare say more. One by one they could only secretly think that 'Chang' had walked into dogshit luck.

  "Come out with me for a trip." The young master of Fang Manor ordered.

  "Yes." The little whiskers bowed.

  Some pedestrians in the distance saw this scene and couldn't help but discuss it.

  "That little mustache is really lucky, Young Master Li, actually took him in as a guest."

  "Following Master Lei, this person's future prospects are boundless. Master Lei didn't even ask what abilities that person had, that person is truly lucky."

  Three people in the distance on Mount Tengqin.

  "What's a 'door guest'?" Teng Qing furrowed his brow, while Li Kun spoke in a low voice: "Xiao Ping, what is a 'door guest'?" In the vast lands of the Nine States, there was no such thing as a "door guest".

  Xiao Ping also said: "Throughout the entire Du Mu continent, each family is at war with one another. They all need some talented individuals. Therefore, those who have talent will join some families and become their door guests, serving these families. In this way, the families will support them and let them live a good life."

  "Oh." Li Kun nodded in agreement.

  "Come on, it's not far ahead, we'll reach the Xuri Wine House soon." Teng Qing Shan said with a smile.

  The three of them immediately went to the wine building in the direction of the rising sun.

  Gongzi Li, along with three subordinates including Chang, also headed in the direction of the Xuri Wine House.

  "Hmm?" Young Master Lei's gaze fell on Li Jun's profile not far in front of him, revealing a hint of a smile. "This woman is no ordinary person, Fang Hong, look, doesn't that woman resemble the Female Martial Saint of Donghua Domain? Especially her temperament."

  Behind Lord Li, a tall and sturdy man wearing a black thick leather coat also looked carefully and nodded in surprise: "Lord, that woman is indeed very similar to the Female Martial Saint of Donghua Domain! Especially her temperament... it's really special."

  "It's probably not just a few people who want to pin down a woman like the Female Martial Saint. If we can't get our hands on her, then getting our hands on that woman in front of us wouldn't be bad either." Young Master Lei said with a calm smile, and Fang Hong also chuckled quietly: "Getting our hands on her is good, but we need to probe her bottom line first."

  Young Master Lei smiled faintly and glanced at him: "Do you think I would be so rash?"

  "If I can succeed, wait until I'm tired of playing with her, and then I'll send her to you, how about that?" Young Master Lei said with a smile.

  "Let's talk again." Fang Hong said with a faint smile.

  "Hmm? They also went to the Xuri Wine House." Gongzi Li smiled, "Originally came out just for lunch... Hmm, let's go to the Xuri Wine House. Chang Neng coming under my command is a joyful event, worth celebrating."

  Chang felt a warmth in his heart.

  ……

  Akira said the second floor of the wine building.

  "The two single rooms on the third floor have already been booked. Let's eat here on the second floor instead." The neat and tidy girl, wearing a red vest, enthusiastically arranged the table and chairs for Tan Qing Shan and his group. Tan Qing Shan put down the huge package on his back onto the ground beside him, causing the hard stone floor to shake slightly.

  There were many characters on the menu that Qing Shan didn't recognize.

  Better still, he directly ordered the best 'Nan Hua Warm Sun Feast', this banquet table needs more than sixty taels of silver, ordinary people really can't afford to eat.

  "Master Liu, please go upstairs!"

  With a loud and enthusiastic voice, a girl wearing the same red jacket led five people up to the second floor. The five of them were led by an old man with silver hair and black robes, while the other four consisted of three men and one woman.

  "Master Liu, the third floor is fully booked, and on the second floor, there's only this one table left." The girl said.

  "It's nothing, just this table then." The silver-haired black-robed old man replied.

  His four juniors immediately moved the tables and chairs, very respectfully: "Teacher, please sit!"

  "Ah, Master Liu!" On the second floor, someone at another table immediately stood up and greeted him with a bow.

  The silver-haired old man in black smiled and nodded slightly.

  "Master Liu, long time no see."

  Akira said the second floor of the wine building, at least six people stood up and greeted this 'Liu Dashi', others estimated that they had no relationship with Liu Dashi, and didn't want to make acquaintances.

  Leaning against the side of the Qingyun Mountain, a table for three people.

  "This Master Liu is quite respectable." Li Kun said in a low voice.

  "Hmm, to be called a master, there should be some extraordinary skills." Teng Qing Shan also took a glance and then lowered his head to eat.

  Suddenly——

  "Roar!!"

  "Roar!!"

  One after another, loud and clear like thunder, the roar echoed endlessly in the sky above the entire city of Dan Yang.

  "Where did the voice come from?" Tong Qing Shan was shocked.

  "The sound is coming from that direction, it seems to be... the Fang Manor direction." Li Kun looked out the window and was very certain. The Fang Manor and Xuyue Wine House were close by, making the shouting sound even louder.

  "That fierce beast in Fang Manor, why does it always roar?"

  "Every time it's mealtime, that beast howls. I wish someone would slaughter this beast."

  The second floor was also filled with murmurs of discussion.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  Footsteps echoed from the stairs, and a handsome young man in white clothes walked up to the second floor. The dissatisfied voices that had been present earlier quickly disappeared, and it suddenly became quiet. "Young Master!" "So it's the Young Master who has arrived." On the second floor, some people with a certain status stood up and bowed their hands.

  Gongzi Li nodded towards those who were nodding, his gaze sweeping over the table of Tan Qing Mountain, finally landing on Master Liu.

  "Master Liu." Young Master Li bowed his hands.

  "The Grand Master." Master Liu also immediately stood up and never dared to show off again.

  "It's rare to meet Master Liu." Young Master Li said with a smile.

  A waiter from the wine house next door said respectfully, "Young master, going to the third floor?" Although it was full of guests, with Young Master's identity, he could still go to the third floor and forcibly take down a table.

  "Let's go to the second floor, I haven't chatted with Master Liu for a long time." Young Master Li smiled faintly and swept his gaze around before landing on Tan Qing Shan's table. He smiled and said, "Brother, it's rare for me to meet Master Liu, and your table just so happens to be next to Master Liu's. May I join you?"

  The shopkeeper also looked at the three of them and smiled: "This table is on the house, courtesy of Xuri Hotel. How about you three go downstairs?"

  On the table.

  Xiao Ping was a bit awkward, Li Kun heard and frowned, looking at Teng Qing Shan beside her, she listened to everything Teng Qing Shan said.

  "Eldest young master?" Teng Qing Shan smiled slightly, "After we three finish eating, won't there be an empty seat?"

  Gongzi Li was taken aback.

  The people on the second floor of the wine house, who were initially watching the commotion, were all shocked. No one had expected... that these three would be so tough. Not even giving face to Young Master Lei! Young Master Lei was the designated heir of the Fang Manor. Nowadays, many battles are personally arranged by Young Master Lei himself.

  "It's interesting." Young Master Lei smiled.

  Among the three subordinates behind Gongzi Li, a slightly chubby man with narrow eyes stepped forward, and Gongzi Li's eyes gave him a hint.

  The man with a squinty eye walked up and smiled blandly: "Three of you, the young master has given good advice, everyone should give some face. The shopkeeper said it's free."

  "Everyone else stand back a bit, standing here, even my little sister doesn't dare to eat." Teng Qing Shan smiled and took a glance at Xiao Ping, Xiao Ping's face suddenly turned red.

  "Hmm."

  The man with narrowed eyes sank his face, stretched out his hand, and a gold ingot rolled onto Teng Qing Shan's table. The golden brick dazzled people's eyes as he said condescendingly, "You three, make way."

  "Jinzi?" Teng Qing Shan was taken aback.

  "That's right, pure gold." The man with narrowed eyes said.

  At this moment, the young master Li was also quietly observing, Master Liu's table was also looking over here, and other noble guests on the second floor were also watching. Many people have been moved.

  "Let me see if it's pure gold. Yes, I'll just leave."

  Hong Qingshan grabbed the golden hairpin, and Li Kun's face beside him had a smile.

  "What's going on?"

  Teng Qing Shan looked up in confusion at the others, "How did it...?" Just then, Teng Qing Shan's right hand, which had been holding the golden ingot, made a "sandy" sound as yellow powder continuously fell from the gap between his palm and fingers, flowing directly onto the ground. When he opened his palm, it was empty.

  The entire second floor of the wine house, including Master Liu, froze in an instant.

  The young master Lei, who had been smiling all along, was also stunned.
